CPU/Mobo DFI nF4 Discussion

Since i am a poor guy i bought a Nforce4 Ultra-D. should be here soon.
might give away / sell those uv reactive cables here to further cut down the cost of purchase;) . i dont go for these fancy stuff.:no:

am sure u'll be a happy guy.......trust me....
also ..SERIOUSLY the cables arent worth it.....they suck whn thy glow....look better like tht only.....

Also am a bit worried for mine too....cuz whenever i c it the heatsink fan and the video card's edge is so close i just cant look at it....

Whenevr i hear a noise (any noise) i just check out tht my card isnt into the fan or wht??

Also hynix d43 ram is fine for the board.......

and good ur going with the ultra.... :clap:
 
Yep Deejay way to go, pair that with OCZ VX value and you have an awesome config at budget levels. Why doesnt OCZ sell their ram chips in India Christ OCZ VX value for 121$ @1 gigs is worth any risk...
 
Well i am aware of teh issues related to DFI boards.I have been using normal boards for a long time.These dont satisfy my OC'ing desires.
I am ready to take the risk.

Also this is what my Rig might look like-
DFI NF4-SLI-DR
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ [Winchester]
512 MB GSkill LA series RAM
80GB Hitachi PATA
Benq DW1610
XFX Geforce 6600 256MB
Antec Truepower 550 [With 24pin connector]

;)

BTW,
@ Funky,
Thanks for the info man,do let me know what happens. ;)
 
Hey darky why dont you get a

OCZ DDR400 PC3200 Platinum Rev 2 2x512 MB Dual Channel Kit.

They oced on the DFI upto 318Mhz 1:1

From Anand Tech
The DFI nForce4 boards shredded all previous records with this CPU and memory - reaching the highest overclocks at stock speed and at a lower mulitiplier that we have ever tested with this combination. We have squeaked by the 300 CPU clock frequency (DDR600) in the past, but it always required a 2T command rate. This time, we reached an astounding 318 (DDR636) at 1T, at the rather aggressive memory timings of 2.5-4-3-7 with our standard OCZ PC3200 Platinum Rev.2, which is based on Samsung TCCD chips. This is the highest DDR speed that we have ever reached with this memory or any other double-sided DDR memory.

What impact does 318 have on performance? Quake 3 ran at 642FPS and SiSoft Sandra 2004 standard memory bandwidth was 8,300 MB/s. The Sandra unbuffered memory bandwidth was at 4000 MB/s. All these results are new performance records in our memory testing. The very wide range of memory voltages to 4.0V is particularly useful in reaching the highest possible overclocks, along with a very complete set of memory tweaking options in the BIOS. There is still a huge reserve in the available memory voltage range as we only needed 2.9V to reach these performance levels. Those with exotic cooling will appreciate that the CPU voltage and memory voltage settings on the DFI will give them what they need to squeeze every bit of performance from their CPU and memory.

For those you dont want the SLi but later think of SLi.

Darky be sure to get the correct RAM. There's one version of GSkill LAs that only do DDR550@2T.

:offtopic:

where can i find that? the last time i checked (yesterday) Newegg doesnt seem to carry (atleast it doesnt mention explicitly about VX Value series).. Monarch has it but costs $77 for 512MB!! and $140 or so for a gig..

The G-Skill runs really gr8 at agressive timings.

just read the entire thread at xtreme systems

Only at low frequencies. At 550-600, u need to set it to something like 2.5-4-3-7 or similar.
 
My 50th Post - Now i am officially a Hyperactive Member :D

darky wont be having any problems with a DFI SLi-DR overclocking that
ram to much insane levels although at a bit more relaxed timings its only a
jumper on the board that requires to increase the DDR Voltage level to 4.0Volts.
